It is described as "light", but as a Niigata native, it has a strong sweetness. It also has a hint of sourness.
The sake smell is suppressed, which is a big help.
I am not a fan of Kyoto sake, but I managed to drink this one.
1.5☆1.5
A little over 1,000 yen for 45% polished rice!
A major company can do that, can't they?
A slightly sweet, fruity sake with excellent cost performance 🍶.

Visit to Hakone Shrine from ⛩️
Successfully completed the Owakudani black eggs 🥚.
Now that the driving is over, let's drink 🍶.
This is the only time of year you drink something with gold leaf in it, right?
Why is it that there's quite a bit of gold leaf in it, but you don't feel the taste or texture of gold leaf on your tongue?
Or, on the other hand, is it in there because you don't feel it?
I don't know the answer, so don't worry about the sake you're celebrating 🍶.
I'm going back and forth on this one 😅 for the sake of kilimanagement.

Long time no see Shimokitazawa

Rokkaku-san is a great singer 🎤 but also a great talker ❣️
Hi Harry 😃
Rokkaku-san's live concert looks like fun🎵.
It's great to see a live performance in a small venue so up close 👍.
The food at the pub looks really good too 😋.
Zeke, only 50 people at the show, I was lucky enough to find it and buy it. But the drinking songs and diesel are sung enthusiastically by all, it's a fun show, they don't seem to do it often, but I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area: ‼️
Hello Harry-san! I see that Rokkaku-san's live ‼️ was the star of the show on this day, instead of the usual by-players.
And Simokita's oden and meat and potatoes, a beautiful Japanese year-end lineup 😊.
Joe-san, Rokkaku-san is a very fun person, just like his character in Drinking Iron, I want to have a drink with him 😁.
I was so excited to get their autographs ✍️ on the original T-shirts I bought. ❣️
